Illegal border crossings down 50 percent
Accuracy in Academia ^ | March 2, 2017 | Malcolm A. Kline

Since the media and academia are not that interested in crimes committed by illegal aliens, it is hard to get news out of either one on what is actually happening on our southern border. Fortunately, some people with hard information are interested.

"I was just out with the border patrol, by air and by gunboat on the Rio," U. S. Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). "They tell me that since Inauguration Day, illegal crossings across the Rio Valley are down 50 percent."

In a free flowing discussion with radio talk show host Mark Levin, the senator also shared insights on his colleagues. "Right now, the Democrats are more afraid of their base that they are of all other voters," Sen Cruz observed. "They think they lost the election because Hillary Clinton was too moderate."

Yet and still, they might be ruing the day Harry Reid changed the rules of confirmation down to a simple majority. "Thanks to Harry Reid, we now have the most conservative cabinet in decades," Senator Cruz said.

Nonetheless, he remains concerned about recent federal judicial decisions, in the 4th and 9th circuits, on gun control and immigration. "I've read both of these," he said. "In neither one is there any reference to the controlling federal law."

One would think that this news would be greeted more monumentally than it has been.

A wall would make it an even 100%, give or take.

Until the flow is reduced to zero and removals exceed arrivals, we are still in a sinking boat.

That’s too bad. I want to see border crossings UP 1,000% — southbound.

I knew the Democrats weren't from this planet, but that statement proves they are not even in this galaxy.

The 50% still crossing need to be rounded up, detailed, fingerprinted, and then deported and permanently banned from returning to our country. No more illegals. None. Zero. No appeals for illegals, just deportation and a permanent ban. Criminals should never be rewarded for their crimes.

This demonstrates the real problem w/amnesty programs. Even if not implemented, discussing their possibility is a green light for illegals to swarm in.

When you “advertise” enforcement, many won’t even make the attempt.

Ever notice how on holiday weekends you invariably hear a radio spot how the police are going to be looking for speeders and drunks?

Imagine what the road would be like if they said “Due to budget constraints, there will be no police monitoring highway traffic in the forseeable future.”

Note that this happened without a massive increase in enforcement, just the threat and the promise that enforcement would occur.

Trump has kept the promise to America. As he goes further, the results will be even better as sure apprehension becomes a deterrent.

Mexico has seen increasing mfg plants from Autos, etc over the past few years.

From a couple years ago:

snip
Well over 3.2 million automobiles are projected to be produced in Mexico by the end
of 2014, ranking Mexico the eight-largest automobile producer in the world.

Currently, eight automotive OEM’s have a manufacturing presence in Mexico, with a
combined 19 plants located in various parts of the country. Here is a snapshot of the
Mexican Automotive Industry:

end snip

Carrier is set to move some operations to Mexico:
Carrier moves 1,400 furnace-manufacturing jobs from Indianapolis to Monterrey, Mexico, by 2018

But still a lot of manual labor, etc will draw workers from Mexico into the USA.

It’s always down from the last time it was down. That’s because they’re already here.

Fake news, IMHO. And 50% is unacceptable!
